...I don't want to give Megatron a hug anymore. But I do feel bad for him; sort of. Honestly, I'm not quite sure what to feel right now. Anyway, it was a great finish to a great story. I totally see why my sister loves your writing. You will be hearing from me again soon as I begin Surface of the Sun which is what she says I should start next. -Starscream II's sister

Guest chapter 1 . 1/3/2012

Hello! :) Sorry this review has to be anonymous, but I don't have an account on here yet. You don't really know me, but you know of me. i'm the younger (but taller) sister of starscream II. i've wondered for a while why she likes your stories so much, so I decided to find out, and I have to admit that I'm beginning to understand. i love being able to read about your interpretation of what Megatron used to be like, and so far, I really like this story so...as soon as I send this, I will read chapter 2. :)

First chapter normal(what I've now dubbed as pre war megatron in my head...like forever)

Second Chpater kinda creepy...

End of third chapter sick and twisted fragger I'm scared of...

I like him before Chapter two...okay, I like pre unicron Megatron...He's much nicer(duh) and just..okay, he's a good guy still and I may love some of the Cons but I am an Autobot girl through and through...*sniffle* poor crazy fragger

anonymous chapter 3 . 2/7/2011

Dayam just found the story after reading one of your others. It's too bad you didn't show how Starscream got corrupted too. Hope sometime you write a sequel to this where you DO show how he (Starscream) ended up a red eyed decepticon too and under Megatron's leadership.

I know I've already reviewed this chapter before, but I feel like I should submit a signed-in review as well. :) Since I wrote this after re-reading the chapter who-knows-how-long after I've initially reviewed the chapter, consider this an extra treat. ;) 3

It’s actually quite refreshing to see that the interactions between Optimus, Jetfire, Starscream, and Megatron weren’t always hostility on the battlefields. You had me cracking up at every friendly barb exchanged between Starscream and Jetfire! XD

“Jetfire was more than happy to recount several more instances of being swindled into things. After the second or third one was rattled off, he started to question his own intelligence; there were only so many times someone of such high-ranking intellect should be tricked into doing things this often.” This especially had me laughing, hysterically if I wasn’t sharing a room with two other occupants at the time I’m writing this. I wouldn’t say that Jetfire was swindled, more so that he was sweet-talked into doing everything he’s listed to Starscream. :D

I’m getting a sad ironic vibe throughout the whole chapter. It’s leaving a bittersweet taste in my mouth and sadness in my heart knowing that Megatron won’t be coming back as the same bot as he was before he left.

Oh no... oh no.. this is horrible! Power incarnate? But doesn’t Megatron have the power to help Optimus lead without power from Unicron? Or am I thinking this way because I try to look at the bright side of situations?

“There was a drive in everyone's sparks to be curious of the unknown, fascinated by the dark, but Megatron had always fought against it, hidden it, locked that curiosity away, because he knew what lurked in the darkness was real, and it was dangerous. And now...Now he didn't want to resist. He was tired of resisting. That buried, hidden part of himself that wanted this was finally free to crawl out, stretch, and grin.” Does this mean that Megatron had always been meant to receive the power from Unicron? To throw their peace into chaos and tragedy and start the most destructive civil war of their race? ( I try to look at the brighter side of things, and I’m trying really hard here to do the same for Megatron, because it’s just too tragic for him to have been marked for the destruction of his beloved Cybertron... to fight against the brother whom he worked so hard to support and work together with to guide Cybertron in the right direction. But what is the right direction exactly... for Optimus and all citizens of Cybertron though.. the horrors of war are just beginning now... :(

Hahaha! “Removal pending”? LOL~ That would be quite the hilarious story, and Megatron’s right – the media would have a field day if that situation ever happened to the Lord High Protector! XD I wonder how Optimus would react to that situation... xP

Starscream doesn’t have quite the ambitious personality right now... but I’m going to guess that after the closer encounter with the Fallen is going to change his personality so that it will be more prominent? Speaking of the Fallen, what underlying reason does Megatron have for accepting the evil that Psi wants from him? I mean, the way you portray Megatron, he could’ve been an amazing mech Creator for any sparklings he could’ve helped create (if he ever found the perfect femme who would decide to help create any sparklings, of course. .); his personality is a little rough around the edges, but the way that he cared about his duties and the bots he left behind on Cybertron insinuated to me that he really did care about them.

Following Psi into the abyss of space isn’t one of the brightest ideas around, even Megatron has to admit that! Even if he has that feeling that he should follow him... he should still try and deduce what might happen as a result of following the darkness... :S Psi... I have to ask out of curiosity - why does he have a ship form if he was one of the Original Thirteen? Or is it because he had fallen so far down that out of his powers of darkness, he fashioned himself a ship form with which he would travel the universe? And how many bots did Psi reveal himself to anyway? Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Megatron, and Starscream, and who else who hasn't been mentioned yet? :S
